Q

S. NEEDS (5)

A

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
- Are the molecules hitting your body.
- At high altitude with less pressure, it’s harder to take in O2.

Q

Proximal

A

Refer to the limbs
- structure closer to the trunk of the body.

24
Q

Muscular System (ORGANS)

A

Muscles, tendons

25
Q

Inferior

A

structures that are below

26
Q

ANATOMICAL POSITION

A

Relates to a body structure to a particular body orientation.
- standing
- feet shoulder width apart and forward
- arms to side
- palms facing forward
- head is looking forward

27
Q

Digestive System (FUNCTIONS)

A

To take in, breakdown nutrients and eliminate waste

28
Q

Negative Feed Back Mechanisms

A
  • Most common one in the body.
  • It causes the opposite effect of the stimulus
    (if there was an increase the response is a decrease)
29
Q

ANATOMY

A

The study of the structures of the human body and their relationships.

30
Q

Lateral

A

To the side

31
Q

Transverse Plane

A

H2O - involved with almost all chemical reactions.

34
Q

Skeletal System (ORGANS)

A

Bones, ligaments, joints

35
Q

PHISIOLOGY

A

The functions of the structures and how the function relates to other structures.

36
Q

S. NEEDS (4)

A

BODY TEMPERATURE (HOMEOSTASIS)
- Gets too low
Chemical reactions slow down and eventually stop,
- Gets too hot
Start breaking down proteins (enzymes) body not able to function.

37
Q
